Pictures from a balcony (3)

It's been a few weeks since the last picture; Spring is in the air and the tree in front of our house (in Hebrew, it's called 'panasit', which means 'little lamp') is beginning to grow buds.



This is the view from the other side of the balcony. We had to prune the eucalyptus tree (it's on the right of the electricity pole which is in the middle of the picture) when the balcony was built. Many years ago, we thought that the eucalyptus was dead, but we pruned off most of the dead wood and it grew a new trunk. This tree is what gives me the feeling of living in a tree house.


Separating the two balconies are two loquat trees; obviously at the moment they're not blooming but there will be plenty of fruit in a few months.

On the other side of the building is a papaya tree. There's a huge fruit on the tree but it may be difficult to see: it appears to be growing out of the trunk at the bottom of the picture.
